LO sleeping gave me a fright!

So LO (little one) sleeps in a Halo Bassinet. We just woke up for one of his feedings and he had somehow wiggles himself all the way to the side and was face first into the mesh siding!
He gave me the biggest scare because he was so still that I was worried something had happened.

He sleeps in a halo sleep sack so he somehow worm wiggles his way to the edge of his bassinet. Is there anything I can do to make sure he doesn’t do this and hurt himself or is it alright since the bassinet has mesh siding?

Not that I have found. My LO (little one) does this, too. Swaddled in a blanket, a sack, nothing - doesn't matter, she somehow wiggles her way to the side and will sleep with her face next to or pushed into the side. I try to correct her when I see it but idk what else to do. Thank heavens the side of my bassinet is mesh, too, or else idk what would happen. Super frustrating and nerve wracking!

ETA: she has done this essentially from the start. She would even wiggle over next to the hard plastic of the hospital one. So far she has been fine and never had any issues being next to the mesh. We have an Owlet and haven't received warnings and her oxygen levels have always been spot on. 🤷

Thanks! I am wondering to get an owlet if he continues to do this just for some peace of mind

Babies simply love to be touched. In fact, they thrive on it - touch is a critical part of growth and development. All that skin-to-skin contact not only helps you and your baby bond, but it's comforting when she's upset and soothing when she's irritable.
